Kate || Liz || ???
💔
The Next Day...
"Stand still!"
"It's just a date! I'm pretty sure make-up and a dress is overkill!"
"It's the basics. Now close your eyes."
"Meh!"
"Quit whining! I'm almost done."
I thought Liz had forgotten all about setting me up with Matt. But when she woke me up today at freakin' 9 AM for a date at 7 PM, I started to think that there's something wrong with her.
"There!" Liz exclaimed as she passed me a mirror.
"I look-"
"Like a movie star!"
"Like a clown!"
Okay, maybe that was a bit overstated. ...Especially since Liz was afraid of clowns.
"I'm sorry Liz. Now get down from there!"
"THIS FRIDGE IS MY SAFE PLACE!"
What could be worse? Hmm... well, there is...
*Ding Dong*
I sighed and opened the door to come face to face with... my brother. (Cue the disappointing feels)
"What are you doing here, Dalton?"
"I just happened to be in the neighborhood-"
"Get dumped again or was it a failed job interview?"
"The second. Hey Liz. Clown phobia again?"
"Clown phobia again."
"You can sleep on the couch."
"Thanks lil' sis. And what's with the-" Dalton made a circle over my face.
"She has a date tonight."
"A date?"
Great Liz. Tell the one person who'll make a big fuss about me having a date, THAT I GOT A DATE.
But he'd have found out anyways, so...
"It's not a big deal."
Me and my big mouth.
"Who is this guy anyway? A hobo? Or-"
"Someone Liz works with. He's a pilot."
"*Cough* Co-pilot. *Cough*"
"Co-pilot. Liz set it up."
And that is how I was able to sneak away to my date ...and get the make-up off. (Except for the mascara.)
